Greece to ban social media for under-15s from 2025
Greece will ban social media access for children under 15 starting in 2025, following similar moves in European countries like France and Spain.
Greece has announced that it will ban social media use for children under 15 starting next year, with the measure set to take effect in 2025. This decision is part of an effort to protect young people from the risks associated with excessive use of digital platforms, such as cyberbullying, exposure to inappropriate content, and mental health issues. The ban follows similar steps taken by other European countries, including France and Spain, which have implemented restrictions to regulate minors' access to social media. Greek authorities hope this policy will foster a safer online environment and promote healthier digital habits among youth, though it has also sparked debate over its effectiveness and potential implications for privacy and free speech.
